You are stupid way beyond the levels Jumbo indicates. Wow, it must hurt to be THAT stupid!
A chimpanzee would beat you hands-down in an IQ contest.
From your mad rants, it sounds to me that you are the one crying for attention. And then, what's with the grammar moron? Not to mention the fact that you seem to love misquoting facts by padding your fantasies here and there into the story. Why use an IQ that is at best in the single digits?
You sound suspiciously like one of those ugly, worthless Indian men that is wife beater.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53db7d29eab8eacb21437f56BartelFri, 01 Aug 2014 07:42:33 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53db7d29eab8eacb21437f56
It's not an Astor Place Starbucks, it's the Astor Place Starbucks, c'mon!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53daeb5deab8eacc591b65e8theheadyconsumerThu, 31 Jul 2014 21:20:29 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53daeb5deab8eacc591b65e8
this is the dumbest article i've ever read. i'm sorry that she got attacked, but what in the fuck does this have to do with her business? it just seems like some really stupid pathetic plea for attention. the ONLY thing the attack having to do with her somehow resurrecting an already stale poorly thought out idea was the fact that she "needed muscle". What? it'd be different if this attack somehow made her change her business strategy into creating a self-defense gym for women that is making major $$$ instead of launching into another business that might peak...but will eventually be doomed for failure.
the idea of classpass is an odd one to me personally. as a NY-er, i think it's absolutely nonsensical for me to sink $99 into a pass where i may or may not like the class offered. why not instead offer a "lighter" level of membership for the user that's slowly trying to get back into fitness as opposed to spending $100 a month on classes that are essentially a crapshoot? additionally, $99 is actually a deal, but then you have to think about groupon or other perks-related businesses that help keep gym costs down for a user. for me personally, i'm lucky in that i spend a grand total of $20 a month on my gym (it helps to not live in manhattan). what's my incentive to actually use this classpass thing? is there a money-back guarantee? instead of trying to aim for a new gym-goer, why not appeal to a crowd that's a hardcore fitness & sweat loving crowd? otherwise, classpass seems like legitimately a dumb idea for someone who isn't sure about what fitness classes they want to take -- especially when a LOT of gyms offer an initial class for sometimes up to 75% off the regular price.
additionally, you get hooked onto a class. great. now what? do i have to keep spending $99/month to keep going to that gym? what's keeping me coming back to buying this ridiculous thing every month? it seems like miss kadakia has not thought of her business strategy well and it's obvious she's oblivious about her consumer market.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53dad4e3eab8ea43071b65dfJumboThu, 31 Jul 2014 19:44:35 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53dad4e3eab8ea43071b65df
You're an idiot on multiple levels: 1) she didn't get raped, read the damn headline if you're too stupid to read the article, 2) you type in all caps, 3) you're a misogynist foolhttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/53dad086eab8eae97b1b65e5number of users is actually low - 10 classes per monthThu, 31 Jul 2014 19:25:58 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53dad086eab8eae97b1b65e5
For $99/month, users buy access to 10 classes wherever they’d like to go, with no requirements on which type of class they take.

How does one get a 27 person company before they have any sales? This money was just raised recently. Did they give her the original money based on an idea without anything working? I thought you had to have something running before they give you funding. I guess they liked her personality. Does she have a prior track record?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53dab0896bb3f7801a7542f3do the mathThu, 31 Jul 2014 17:09:29 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53dab0896bb3f7801a7542f3
a monthly gym-like membership
Since its launch last May, people have booked more than 350,000 classes through the platform.
Users can only register for the same venue three times per monthhttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/53daaf9fecad04340a7542f3is that just one thousand users? Thu, 31 Jul 2014 17:05:35 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53daaf9fecad04340a7542f3
350,000 classes / allowed 3 classes per month = 120,000
/ 12 months =
1000 users ?
how many users ?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53daab87eab8ea6369c0cc72SO SHE IS USING A RAPE TO GET ATTENTION?Thu, 31 Jul 2014 16:48:07 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53daab87eab8ea6369c0cc72
WOW. THATS PRETTY HORRIBLE.
I DONT BELIEVE HER RAPE HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH HER BUSINESS IDEA
SHE IS JUST CRYING FOR ATTENTION
SEE WOMEN WILL USE ANYTHING TO GET AHEAD
LOOKS
RAPE
FEMINISMhttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/53da99646bb3f7ae3e2ed0c6depressionThu, 31 Jul 2014 15:30:44 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53da99646bb3f7ae3e2ed0c6
I think it's great that she focused her rage into her work ....sometimes that's the only way to plow ahead ....
